3. Moreover no one doubts that the assertions of impiety always contradict and resist the assertions of religious faith; and that that cannot be piously held now which is already condemned as impiously conceived; as, for instance, the discrepancy and variance which these new correctors of the apostolic faith maintain between the Spirit of the Evangelists and that of Prophets; or their assertion that the Prophets prophesied one thing and the Evangelists preached another, since Solomon calls upon us to adore a creature, while Paul convicts those who serve a creature. And certainly these two texts do not seem to agree together, according to the blasphemous theory, whereby the Apostle, who was trained by the law, and separated by divine appointment, and spoke through Christ speaking in him, either was ignorant of the prophecy, or was not ignorant but contradicted it; and thus did not know Christ to be a creature when he named Him the Creator; and forbade the worship of a creature, warning us that the Creator alone is to be served, and saying, Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and served the creature, passing by the Creator Who is blessed for ever and ever799    Rom. i. 23.

3. Apud Arianos pugnat secum propheticus et evangelicus Spiritus.---Nemini autem dubium est, contrarias semper obnitentesque impietatis causas esse causis religionum: neque posse id pie suscipi, quod impie susceptum esse decernitur: ut aut hi nunc novi apostolicae fidei emendatores evangelicum et propheticum Spiritum in lites dividant, et in jurgia partiantur; aut hi aliter prophetaverint, et hi aliter praedicaverint: quia Salomon ad creaturae nos venerationem vocet, Paulus vero servientes creaturae coarguat. Quae utique non videntur sibi secundum impietatis intelligentiam convenire (Gal. I, 15,) ut Apostolus, et per legem edoctus, et per praefinitionem segregatus, 0435C (II Cor. XIII, 3), et per loquentem in se Christum loquens, prophetiam aut ignoraverit aut non ignoratam dissolverit: et nescierit creaturam Christum, quem creatorem nuncupaverit; et vetuerit creaturae religionem, qui soli Creatori serviendum monuerit dicens: Qui immutaverunt veritatem Dei in mendacium, et servierunt creaturae praeterito Creatore, qui est benedictus in saecula saeculorum (Rom. I, 25).
